Haitian V creator touches nerve with video skits

If the latter name doesn't register, you're not among the thousands of YouTube users who eagerly await the latest video missive from Haitian V, the patois-speaking, 45-year-old Haitian hustler that Brooklyn resident and hilarious urban Everyman Calixte created.

- There's Haitian V trapping a sexual predator, ambushing the man with a camera "Cops"-style after the man shows up at an apartment carrying two bottles of liquor for a date with a 14-year-old girl he met online.

"It's not in my budget to chase him," V says as the man flees the apartment.

- There he is, wearing his trademark fedora and sitting in front of a Haitian flag, riffing in mostly two-minute-long videos about everything from Eliot Spitzer, Britney Spears, rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West to the questionable fashion sense of men who wear their pants too low ("In Haiti, they would beat you with a stick!").

- V cooks Thanksgiving dinner, awkwardly shovels snow while whining about the cold, touts Haiti as a spring break destination where tourist can see "Haitian Girls Gone Wild." He calls in a personal trainer, Bruno, to help him get "sexy for the ladies," but of course things go wrong.

- Now V gets caught trying to videotape a movie in a theater so he can make and sell bootleg copies. In the latest tape, uploaded last week, he challenges a kid who claims to be selling candy on the subway to benefit his basketball team to a one-on-one match - V shows up on the court wearing black socks, brown shoes and his trademark hat.

It's not pretty - and neither is the game.

V's favorite curse, "S--- man!", is reserved for people "not doing what they are supposed to do,"
